From Far North Queensland to your table.
"I don't think there could be any healthy product made out of sugarcane other than jaggery."
A Journey from Melbourne to the Far North
The story of Arjun Foods begins with a departure. Arjun Singh, then living a fast-paced life in Melbourne, felt a persistent calling back to his roots and the elemental nature of the land. In 2017, he traded the urban skyline for the lush landscapes of Far North Queensland.
It was here, amidst the tropical climate and thriving sugarcane country, that a vision began to crystallize: to revive the ancient art of jaggery making using premium Australian sugarcane.
The Partnership
This journey wasn't one taken alone. Arjun found a kindred spirit in Brendan Rich, a local farmer with deep knowledge of sugarcane farming in Far North Queensland. Together, they combined traditional Indian techniques with Australian agricultural expertise.
The Trial of 80 Batches
Perfecting Arjun Foods Jaggery was not an overnight success. It required relentless dedication and a willingness to fail. Over the course of a single season, Arjun and his team conducted over 80 trials, meticulously adjusting temperatures, durations, and filtration methods to achieve the perfect balance of mineral-rich sweetness and smooth texture.
